President Donald Trump is a man of the people and does not sound like a politician, which is a good thing, former Navy SEAL and former FBI special agent Jonathan T. Gilliam told Newsmax TV.

Trump is the right man for the job as he tries to curtail illegal immigration and have criminal illegal aliens deported, Gilliam told host Bill Tucker, fill-in host Thursday on "The Steve Malzberg Show."

"He's using the language that operators on the street use, and that's what confounds me about this whole thing is that, and this is what bothers me about CPAC and the big leaders in the Republican Party, nobody confronts and talks to the operators that are on the street, the agents on the street," said Gilliam, host of "The Experts" on Facebook Live.

"It appears as though Trump speaks their language and that's what we need. . . . I think we've been waiting for a leader to come in and say, not something pretty and doctored, but say we're gonna get bad dudes and we're gonna get them out of the country."

Gilliam added the "mass hysteria" that has taken place across the country is a product of liberals upset Hillary Clinton lost the election, not what Trump and his administration are doing.

"If Donald Trump concentrates on the details, he's going to make big changes, and if he doesn't worry about what these people are saying in social media, the proof will be a year from now, or four years from now, when things work out," he said.
